It's because Grandpa Joe is like the parent who lets the kid get away with anything with little or no consequences, thus empowering criminal behavior.

He had previously, successfully, been part of enacting a crime bill in the 90’s that dealt harshly with violent criminals who don’t deserve to remain in society. Currently our gracious leftist overlords are experimenting with the idea that not locking up violent criminals is better for their communities. Gun crime and murders are overwhelming committed by repeat violent offenders. There is a subset of our society that glorifies this type of behavior which is why you recently had a 13 and 15 y/o girl kill an Uber driver they were trying carjack near where the shooting happened tonight. Broken and irredeemable
It's because of your rules which means guns are very easy to get and you guys time after time after every mass shooting wont take away guns as the NRA have found a way to corrupt politics and are to powerful for even the government to take away their mass murdering weapons

Ignoring the fact America has more people imprisoned than any other county on the planet

There needs to be tougher guns laws to punish felons who keep commiting crimes with guns! The courts don't punish criminals who commit felonies with illegal guns. They let them go, or give them light sentences. A convicted felon with an illegal gun invaded a black woman's home, stuck his gun in her face and threatened to kill her if she tried to stop him from stealing everything she had. This scumbag George Floyd only got 5 years. He should still be in prison!!
Handgun cost at a US gun show - $250-300
Canada street cost - $3-4,000
Street cost of an AR-15 in Australia - US$ 25k
The US does not regulate gun ownership at the national level to the degree that would make guns prohibitively expensive. This is a large part of how effective deterrence works - pricing.
Bottom line - people (in the US) don't care.

Why? How many other countries have an angry population that is constantly told that it’s oppressed, has absent fathers, and a music/culture that glorifies prison and shooting others?
This is not “American culture”. This is urban culture. Where are all the nba players and al Sharpton? Why aren't they setting up programs to at least talk to these people? Do they not care about their population all of a sudden? People are scared to say these things out of fear of being called a racist, but it needs to be said- this coming from a brown guy. An entire generation of people is needlessly going down the tubes.

We have more people in prison precisely because we have more violent people. You think our prisons are full of weed smokers? No, they are full of convicted rapists and murderers.
Lock them all up and throw away the key. Anyone who commits violence deserves their freedom taken away.

Now why would America, the greatest, fairest, most free, nation the world has ever seen, create far more violent criminals than anywhere else on the planet?
First we are told crime is up because not enuff people are being locked up.
I note that American locks up more people than any other nation on the planet.
Which is true and destroys the initial assertion

If we lock up every bad person, they won't be shooting anyone. Therefore shootings will decline.

How does it destroy initial assertion? We have more incarcerated per capita, that doesn’t in itself negate the fact we don’t keep enough violent criminals locked up.
Should we lock up less people for non-violent crime? I think so.
Violent crime was much MUCH higher between 1986 through 2006 ; violent crime is only 3% higher than 2019. The msm will have you believe the sky is falling; the narrative is working …

Blacks commit shootings at a rate ten times higher than whites. Check the population of the countries that you are referring to and you will see that they are not black.
This has been explained to you already.
When adjusted for poverty, all races in the US commit crime at the same rates.
So the question isn’t about Black people committing crimes at higher rates, it should be Why are so many Black Americans living below the poverty line?
But you already knew this, yet continue with your posts so I’m guessing you have a certain mentality that does not listen to reason.

There you go, hit the nail on the head.
